We examine the well known distributed power control (DPC) algorithm proposed by Foschini and Miljanic and show via simulations that it may fail to converge in the presence of time-varying channels and handoff, even when the feasibility of the power control problem is maintained at all times. Simulation results also demonstrate that the percentage of instability is a function of the variance of shadow fading, interference and the target signal to interference plus noise ratio. In order to better explain these observations and provide a systematic framework to study the stability of distributed power control algorithms in general, we present the problem in the context of switched systems, which can capture the time variations of the channel and handoffs. This formulation leads to interesting stability problems, which we address using common quadratic Lyapunov functions and M-matrices.

In a file system, critical sections are represented by means of read or write operations on useful data (i.e files) as well as metadata of the system. The processes must be synchronized to reach these shared resources, thanks to mutual exclusion algorithms which guarantee data consistency. In a grid environment, processes are compared to grid nodes and their synchronization is ensured by the sending of messages on the network. Moreover, the access time to a critical section is conditioned by the high latency of the network. In this paper, we propose a method based on the use of the multicast, which makes it possible in some cases to decrease the access time to critical sections. This solution was implemented within a token- and tree-based distributed mutual exclusion algorithm and it was integrated in the grid middleware named ViSaGe.

Routing algorithms based on the distributed Bellman-Ford algorithm (DBF) suffer from exponential message complexity in some scenarios. Two modifications to the algorithm are proposed which result in polynomial message complexity without adversely affecting the response time of the algorithm. However, the new algorithms may not compute the shortest path. Instead, the paths computed can be worse than the shortest path by at most a constant factor (<3). The modifications proposed to the original algorithm are simple and easy to implement. The message complexity of the first algorithm, called the multiplicative approximation algorithm, is O(nm log (n Delta )), where Delta is the maximum length over all edges of an n-nodes m-edges network. The message complexity of the second algorithm, called the additive approximation algorithm, is O( Delta / delta nm), where is delta is the minimum length over all edges in the network.< >

This paper presents a family of continuous-time distributed algorithms called Zero-Gradient-Sum (ZGS) algorithms, which solve unconstrained, separable, convex optimization problems over undirected networks with fixed topologies. The ZGS algorithms are derived using a Lyapunov function candidate that exploits convexity, and get their name from the fact that they yield nonlinear networked dynamical systems whose states slide along an invariant, zero-gradient-sum manifold and converge asymptotically to the unknown minimizer. We also present a systematic way to construct ZGS algorithms, show that a subset of them converge exponentially, and obtain lower bounds on their convergence rates in terms of the convexity characteristics of the problem and the network topology, including its algebraic connectivity. Finally, we show that some of the well-studied continuous-time distributed consensus algorithms are special cases of ZGS algorithms and discuss the ramifications.

This paper proposes a set of novel distributed algorithms on top of m-D irregular mesh overlay to achieve the short delay and low network resource consumption end host multicast services. Our end host multicast fully utilizes the advantages of m-D irregular mesh to construct a two-layer architecture. Compared to previous approaches, the novelty and contribution of our end host multicast include: 1. cluster formation that partitions the group members into different clusters in the lower layer; 2. cluster core selection that selects a core who has the minimum sum of overlay hops to all other cluster members for each cluster ; 3. weighted shortest path tree construction that constructs the shortest multicast trees with the minimum number of paths to propagate the multicast traffic; 4. distributed multicast routing directs the multicast messages to be efficiently distributed along the two-layer multicast architecture in parallel without a global control. Simulation results show that our end host multicast can distributively achieves the short delay and low network resource consumption multicast services as compared with some well-know end host multicast systems.

This paper focuses on the challenge of developing a distributed solution for the Generalized Nash Equilibrium (GNE) in a networked environment. In this scenario, a group of players communicate through a connected network and aim to minimize their respective objective functions while considering the impact of other players' decisions and shared resource constraints. To address this, the paper proposes a new approach that involves reformulating the local optimal solution, introducing the network-Lagrangian, and redefining GNE as a zero-finding problem for a specific operator. The effectiveness of the algorithm is verified through its application in a Nash-Cournot production game scenario.

Wireless sensor networks have a wide range of applications because they can be adapted for various environments. They can operate independently in harsh places where a human presence is risky or even impossible. Since their life time is dependent on their batteries and replacing or recharging their batteries is impossible in rough places, it is necessary to find energy efficient routing protocols for them. In this paper, a number of well-know energy efficient routing algorithms for WSNs have been classified and presented based on their attributes.

In this paper a distributed iterative algorithm is developed for joint spreading sequence design and power control in the uplink of CDMA systems. Simultaneous iterations are implemented using gradient approaches for convex cost functions with nonlinear QoS constraints. Performing parallel iterations instead of round robin iterations, the algorithm convergence speed is significantly increased. Different from conventional approaches the algorithm convergence speed will not explicitly depend on the number of active users. Moreover, the efficiency of our method increases by increasing the number of active users.

We study dual-based algorithms for distributed convex optimization problems over networks, where the objective is to minimize a sum Σ i=1 m f i (z) of functions over in a network. We provide complexity bounds for four different cases, namely: each function f is strongly convex and smooth, each function is either strongly convex or smooth, and when it is convex but neither strongly convex nor smooth. Our approach is based on the dual of an appropriately formulated primal problem, which includes a graph that models the communication restrictions. We propose distributed algorithms that achieve the same optimal rates as their centralized counterparts (up to constant and logarithmic factors), with an additional optimal cost related to the spectral properties of the network. Initially, we focus on functions for which we can explicitly minimize its Legendre-Fenchel conjugate, i.e., admissible or dual friendly functions. Then, we study distributed optimization algorithms for non-dual friendly functions, as well as a method to improve the dependency on the parameters of the functions involved. Numerical analysis of the proposed algorithms is also provided.

A distributed coordination algorithm is proposed to enhance the engagement of the multi-missile network in consideration of obstacle avoidance. To achieve a cooperative interception, the guidance law is developed in a simple form that consists of three individual components for tar- get capture, time coordination and obstacle avoidance. The distributed coordination algorithm enables a group of interceptor missiles to reach the target simultaneously, even if some member in the multi-missile network can only collect the information from nearest neighbors. The simula- tion results show that the guidance strategy provides a feasible tool to implement obstacle avoid- ance for the multi-missile network with satisfactory accuracy of target capture. The effects of the gain parameters are also discussed to evaluate the proposed approach.
